York, appeared at Harper's theatre last
night and Saturday night, presenting
respectively "Die Flendermaus" and the
The Beggar Student" Both per
formances were artistic and refined, the
music being of the highest order, and
the acting first class. The operas were
given in the German tongue, but were nc
less interesting in their musical and
general rendition. Miss Sophie Offeney
Mr. Rudolph Sironhold. Miss Paula Van
Varndal and Mr.. Felix Schnelle shared
the honors of the performances. The
audiences were not large, but very well
pleased.

The Gen. D. Ii. Rucker, an Ohio river
steamer owned by j. II. Conrod of St.
Louis, came up last night with a
load of lumber for Moline manufacturers
from Helena, Ark She is peculiar
looking craft. having but one smoke
stack, and that an immense concern. rs
large as an ocean steamers, and much
taller. She is built after the pattern of q
craft that used to run between Pittsburg
and New Orleans. The Moline manufac'
tureres engaged her to bring their lumber,
thus avoiding extortionate rates under

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Surveyors who were in the vicinity d
month ago. are back at Milan again,
which demonstrates the fact that the
road is determined upon making an
entry into Rock Island. The surveyors
have entered Milan this time by an en-
tirely different route from the one pre-
viously pursued, having come by way
of Viola and Presumption line which
appears to be more feasible than the
former one. The Santa Fe is certainly
coming to Rock Island. as the reappear-
ance of the surveyors indicates, and NO
effort should be wanting on the part of
our citizens TO make the new road wei.

The 90 rrest,e Work Fire.

Chief Engineer Knox and the members
of the fire department generally, are very
indignant over the article in Fridays
ARGUS in regard to the c.. B. & @.
trestle work fire. 1t is very natural that
they wouldn't like it. We didn't expect
they would. Candor compelled us to
give the facts as they occurred, however,
Notwithstanding. 1t is a mistake to
think because services are volunteered
that tley are not open to criticism.
Every volunteer fireman is justly titled
to credit for giving his time and services
gratuitiously to the city, but the ARGUS
simply claims that greater efficiency and
harmony of action is desirable in the fire
department. Men who undergo daily
ira lining. and give the subject of fire
mans duty careful study, are better quail
fled to battle the fire fiend than those
whose only experience is gained at fire
when property and life are in danger
Rock Island should have paid fire de-
partment picked from the best material
of the volunteer service.
In Yesterdays Onion Messrs. H. d.
Mack, James Mirfield, John ]. Reimers
and VIM. F. Schroeder sign card headed,
"The Fire Department SANDER" in
which they charge the ARGUS with giving
false report of the conduct of the fire
men on that occasion. With all due re-
spect to the veracity of this self'consti-
tuted committee of four we are not
aware that Messrs. Mack, Mirfield, Reim-
ers and Schroeder are any better quail :
fed to judge of the efficiency of the work
done. or have keener sense of discern
msnt than many others who were present
at the time, at least they have never dis
played any particular ability in this re-
spect that we know of. The ARGUS could
get the signatures of dozens as reputable
citizens as Messrs Mack, Mirfeld. Rein
ers and Schroeder to testify that its criti-
cism was justified, but We don't deem ii
necessary. If Messrs. Mack, MIrtield,
Reimers and Schroeder are satisfied the
ARGUS is.
